Hi doctor,

I am 29 years old. My height is 5 feet and weight is 41 kg. I have been facing this problem since two years. A week or 10 days before my periods, I got a very sharp abdomen pain before urination. Also, I got frequent urination. If I delay passing urine for more than 10 minutes, then the pain gets unbearable. During this time, I will not be able to travel or go out and have a normal day. After passing urine, it pains badly for some time and then slowly subsides for a while. My periods are moderate to high. I used to have periods with an interval of three weeks. I had an ultrasound of kidney a year ago and it was fine. My bladder showed that it does not pass all urine. However, this problem is only there for those 10 days and not the rest of the month. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

  • Please get an ultrasound scan to rule out any abnormalities like endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease. In endometriosis, you can get pain like this before the periods starts.
  • If so, then proper medicines will help you. Sometime, ultrasound may not help and further investigations may be required.

For further doubts consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/obstetrician-and-gynaecologist

Thank you doctor,

Could you tell whether the ultrasound should be conducted during the days of experiencing this pain or any time of the month?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

  • I suggest you consult a gynecologist and possibility of endometriosis can be discussed with her. She will do a pelvic examination and advise a scan.
  • Also, an opinion from a urologist is needed. So, a combined consultation with a urologist as well as a gynecologist will help you.
